I'm trying to replace a power supply...
Anyone know if I can replace this http://itwinkle.stores.yahoo.net/hp250wa1.html
With this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371005

The connector stuff doesn't make any sense to me. Can you replace a 20 pin connector with a 20+4 connector? o.O

If the specs are the same..I'm sure you could adapt the connector.....google the connecters and see what they say about both types..

I don't know..but your picture looks cool..

I think the 20+4 means you can split the 4 off... not positive.
it's cheaper on amazon though... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KQ3QQY

If you have something that doesn't work with those connectors chances are you can find an adapter. Check what motherboard you have to see if you need to grab a 20 pin adapter for the 20+4

thanks bmw. :]
marcello: Wow, that's so much cheaper. Thanks very much! Everything that I've found says that the 4 extra won't matter.
Joe: Well crap, I didn't even know that you could buy adapters for those things. o.O heh. Thanks dude. :]
